An electrically driveable vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes an intermediate DC circuit, an in-vehicle, three-phase on-board electrical system fed by the intermediate DC circuit, at least one drive motor fed by a converter, and at least one coolant pump for pumping a coolant that cools the converter. In addition to the in-vehicle three-phase on-board electrical system, the vehicle also has a second on-board electrical system. The at least one coolant pump is connected to the second on-board electrical system.

Electrically driveable vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle

A speed of a rail vehicle equipped with a first chassis unit is determined. A chassis speed measurement variable is provided by a sensor unit. Inertial measurement variables are detected by an inertial measurement unit; a reference speed characteristic value is formed; an inertial speed characteristic value is determined by a calculation unit based on the inertial measurement variables, in a first operating mode, to estimate a deviation in the inertial calculation based on the reference speed characteristic value; the inertial speed characteristic value is determined, in a second operating mode, without taking into account the reference speed characteristic value. If an anomalous provision process of the chassis speed measurement variable is detected by a recognition unit on the basis of a reference characteristic value and the chassis speed measurement value, the inertial calculation is performed according to the second operating mode.

Method for determining at least one speed in a rail vehicle

An energy conversion device for a vehicle is particularly suited for a rail vehicle. The energy conversion device has, in at least one mode, a unit which operates as a generator unit and has at least one synchronous machine, and which has at least one energy discharge unit which is provided for discharging at least a portion of an electrical energy generated by the generator unit, and has at least one resistor unit. The novel energy discharge unit has at least one control unit which is provided to set operating modes from a set of operating modes in which the resistor unit makes available a different resistance value in each case.

Energy conversion device for an electrically driven vehicle

An assembly for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes an undercarriage unit having at least one first wheel set supported on a track and a main body supported on the first wheel set. The main body has a coupling mechanism for mechanically coupling to at least one car body of the vehicle. At least one first driving motor for driving the first wheel set, at least one power supply unit for supplying the driving motor with electrical power and at least one inverter unit are provided. The power supply unit is disposed at least partially in a region of the undercarriage unit in order to permit the undercarriage unit of the assembly to be expanded with regard to the functionalities of the undercarriage unit.

The invention relates to a 1st power supply arrangement for a rail vehicle. The rail vehicle includes at least one driven car with an intermediate circuit, a brake system and an energy supply system for supplying the brake system with operating energy. In order to improve the framework conditions to ensure reliable electrodynamic braking, the energy supply system contains at least two energy supply units, for the driven car, arranged at the intermediate circuit, for the redundant energy supply to the brake system.

A method for detecting a vibration of a driven axle system of a rail vehicle includes a sensor system detecting a parameter indicating the vibration of an element of the axle system and an evaluating unit evaluating a signal of the sensor system. In order to reliably detect the vibration of the driven axle system of the rail vehicle, the sensor system includes a motion sensor which detects a motion of the element as the parameter.

A rail vehicle braking device has at least one electrodynamic brake, which comprises a drive unit, which has at least one drive motor and a power supply unit for supplying the drive motor when the drive unit is in a traction mode. The rail vehicle braking device has at least two brake control units in order to increase the safety of the electrodynamic brake. In a first braking mode, a first brake control unit in an active state controls the power supply unit for providing a braking effect, a first brake effect monitoring unit and a switching unit, which serves to switch, depending on a brake effect parameter in the first braking mode, into a second braking mode, in which the second brake control unit in an active state controls the power supply unit for providing a brake effect.

Rail vehicle braking device and method for braking a rail vehicle

A method for electrically connecting a converter to an electrical machine supplied with current by the converter by closing a separate electrical connection between the converter and the machine. The connection includes multiple phases. In order to close the electrical connection without causing undue wear to the material, at least two phases of the connection are closed at different times.

Method for electrically connecting a converter to an electrical machine

A method and an arrangement monitor a brake system of a brake arrangement of a rail vehicle. To carry out such a method comparatively cost-effectively and gently on the wheels and rails, the deceleration of the rail vehicle is detected with a deceleration measured variable being obtained and the frictional connection between the wheel and rail is detected with a frictional connection measured variable being obtained. In the event of a small deceleration measured variable and a normal frictional connection measured variable, an error message signal is generated. In a brake system with at least one brake actuator, the deceleration of the rail vehicle is detected with a deceleration measured variable being obtained and the brake force of the at least one brake actuator is measured. In the case of a small deceleration measured variable and a low brake force, an error message signal is generated.
